Sketch of the day 9: (Natalia)

I kind of forgot about the blog for a couple days.. So here's a sketch I did last night of an rp character I created.

Easy Mediums

Everyone uses some sort a of medium to create their art. Here are a couple I find easiest to use:

1. Graphite pencils. They're almost always at your disposal and are great for black and white sketchs.

2. Sharpies. These I normally use for big projects like posters. They're great for adding color to just about anything. (Especially fun to sharpie your jeans)
3. Gel pens. For when I'm inking a sketch or free-drawing, gel pens are good for detailing.
4. Photoshop. It's great for adding minor details or completely changing the entire picture.

Sketch of the day: 8 (Cat attack!)

Okay so it's not a sketch, but videos can count as art two. I was organizing the files in my computer and came across it. This is a random comedy-type video I made in the fourth grade.

Three fun exercises

I don't have a sketch for today, so instead I have three easy exercises you can use to practice and pass the time.

1. Photography: Go out to a park and take a bunch of pictures of the nature around you, and when you get back home try to recreate those pictures in a sketch.

2. Take a random scene from a book and sketch, or paint, it using your imagination to visualize the paragraph.

3. Same as two, only take the scene from a movie instead.(Much easier)

Sketch of the day: 7 (Jean and Cyclops kiss)

As a practice exercise I tried to recreate one my favorite sketches on Deviant art http://ashleigh-michelle.deviantart.com/art/Cyclops-and-Jean-Grey-Kiss-209075171.

This exercise helps beginner artists (like me) with things like shadowing, texture and perspective.

Sketch of the day: 6

Okay so it's not completely a sketch..But hey it's still pretty darn cool-looking if I say so myself.

Sketch of th day: 5 (finished sad fairy)

Finally finished it! (And remember: This project was an exercise in class and we were REQUIRED to use a pic from the internet as a reference so no copyright infringement is intended)
